Wharf of the Caravels Boat Trip
We will pick you up at your hotel in El Portil at the scheduled time, before heading to the docks of Punta Umbria where we begin our boat trip to the Wharf of the Caravels. Relax, sit back, and enjoy the views of the estuary!
We drift alongside the banks where the Tinto and Odiel rivers meet, forming the Huelva estuary. This is the setting of the wonderful Odiel Marshes Biosphere Reserve, home to a rich variety of incredible nature and wildlife.
Our journey continues with a stop at the Wharf of the Caravels. Here, we will tour life-size replicas of the three ships which undertook the famous voyage of discovery - La Niña, La Pinta and La Santa María. Onboard these magnificent vessels you will feel like a true explorer.
After reaching dry land, we will take you back to your hotel in El Portil.
